What brand and model of shoes you like and recommend for runners?

I am a minimalist runner. I love to run barefoot as it is the best fit I can EVER find. I don't have to worry about squished toes or sweaty feet. I'm wanting to try the new balance 100MT's and I want to try the mizuno wave universe.

I either go for the Nike or Adidas brands when looking for sports shoes. i need a good supporting trainer that is light but comfortable and these two brands normally fit the bill.

is world balance still available? i have no running shoes right now because i had stopped running since i work in the office. but i always prefer adidas or world balance.

I find that the running shoes I am using is very comfortable and light. I like it. My wife uses the same brand. So is my son. The brand is Nike.

before i can recommed you the real shoe for runner, i'll give you tips how to choose the right shoe for running: •Take time to shop, and find a knowledgeable sales person. Good advice is crucial. •Check the wear pattern on your old shoe to see whether you have floppy or rigid feet. Floppy-footed runners wear out their sole on the outside and inside edges; rigid-footed runners wear out soles predominantly on the outside edges. Floppy-footed runners can sacrifice cushioning for support; rigid-footed runners can sacrifice support for cushion. •Know whether you feet are curved or are flat footed. The shoe should fit the shape of our foot. Heel – flare gives foot broader, more stable base. Soles – usually carbon-based for longer wear. Cushioning – more that basketball and court shoes, especially at heel. Tread – “waffle” or other deep-cut tread for grip on many surfaces. ....the best brand most professional runners use is "ASICS"

New Balance makes a really good running shoe also, but not the ones you buy for the sporting goods stores. I actually go to the New Balance store, where they can custom fit your foot. Really I think it is what you are most comfortable with as long as they fit properly and you replace them regularly. I guess that is why I like the New Balance so much becuase they can reorder your custom inserts if the outside of the shoe is still in good shape.

Since you like cushion you probably wouldn't like my shoes. I wear the Nike Free Version 5.0. They aren't perfect, but they're still the best shoes I've tried. I also have the New Balance 800, which I like except that they have too much cushion for me and my feet get more sweaty in them. But ever since the day I wore them in the rain and they got soaking wet and water was sloshing around inside of them, they suddenly breathe a bit better and lost a bit of cushion too. Still, I only wear them for shorter runs (usually 6 miles or less).

normally i like more nike products than adidas but this is not so fixed but in general i prefer his brand for spor wear or shoes too!!So may be if i want buy a running shoes i take into consideration also adidas but in many cases nike style is better for me!!
